Immigration policy should be generous; it should be fair; it should be flexible.

With such a policy we can turn to the world, and to our own past,

with clean hands and a clear conscience.

MILA’s Objective

The Marquette Immigration Law

A

ssociation’s objective and mission is to provide encouragement and opportunities for

law

students to explore and learn about immigration law and its policy concerns, generally; by way of events that bring together law students, immigration lawyers and other legal professionals in the area of immigration law, and Milwaukee’s immigrant and refugee community.And shall we refuse the unhappy fugitives from distress

that

hospitality which the

[Natives] of the wilderness extended to our

fathers arriving in this land?

Shall

oppressed humanity find no asylum on

this globe?

They have a right to claim it as though they were

blood

of the blood, and flesh of the flesh,

of

the men who wrote that Declaration, and so

they are

.

That is the electric cord in that

Declaration

that links the hearts of Patriotic and liberty-loving

[people]

together,

that

will link those patriotic hearts as long as the love of freedom

exists

in the minds of

[people]

throughout the world.Slide9

It

becomes a memory, it becomes a kind of ambiguity between

sadness

and

injury and

open to other kinds

of perceptions.Slide10

The sky plane caught fire over Los Gatos Canyon,

A

fireball of lightning, and shook all our hills,

Who are all these friends, all scattered like dry leaves?

The radio says, "They are just

deportees."

I

feel at home in

my [adopted country]

but, at the same time,

not. I

feel at home in

my [native country], and

then not.

What

I'm doing with my art is just cultivating this space in between

The Irish were the first to endure the scorn and discrimination later to be inflicted, to some degree at least, on each successive wave of immigrants by already settled

“Americans.”

Today many of our newcomers are from

Mexico. [T]hey

often receive the same discriminatory treatment and opprobrium that were faced by other waves of newcomers. The same things are said today of

Mexicans

that were once said of Irish, Italians, Germans and Jews

: ‘They'll

never adjust; they can't learn the language; they won't be absorbed

.’ Slide14

Freedom

of emigration is due to the general interests of humanity.

The

course of emigration being always,

from

places where living is more difficult

,

to places where it is less difficult,

the happiness

of the emigrant is promoted by the

change

and

as a more numerous progeny is another effect of the same cause,

human

life is at once made a greater blessing,

and

more individuals are created to partake of it.
